+# ADMatchedValueBC
+
+!syntax description /BCs/ADMatchedValueBC
+
+## Description
+
+`ADMatchedValueBC` is a `ADNodalBC` which applies to systems of two or more variables,
+and can be used to impose equality of two solutions along a given `boundary`.
+This class is appropriate for systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) of
+the form
+\begin{equation}
+\begin{aligned}
+  -\nabla^2 u &= f_1 && \quad \in \Omega \\
+  -\nabla^2 v &= f_2 && \quad \in \Omega \\
+  \frac{\partial u}{\partial n} &= h_1 && \quad \in \partial \Omega_N \\
+  \frac{\partial v}{\partial n} &= h_2 && \quad \in \partial \Omega_N \\
+  u &= v && \quad \in \partial \Omega_D,
+\end{aligned}
+\end{equation}
+where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is the domain, and $\partial
+\Omega = \partial \Omega_D \cup \partial \Omega_N$ is its boundary,
+$u$, $v$ are the unknowns, $f_1$, $f_2$ are forcing functions (which
+may depend on both $u$ and $v$), and $h_1$ and $h_2$ are given
+fluxes. The `v` parameter is used to specify the variable whose value
+is tied to $u$. In the example below, the other variable's name
+happens to be `v` as well.
